Dokpesi denies interest in PDP chairmanship seat

People Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Raymond Dokpesi, has debunked reports that he is interested in national chairmanship of the party.

The opposition party is expected to elect a new chairman in October to replace Uche Secondus. The former chairman of Daar Communications stated yesterday that he would not risk a dent on his integrity, having made his stance clear earlier.

According to him, contrary to reports in some national dailies (not The Guardian), he has no interest in contesting the position of the party’s national chairman.

“I wish to categorically state that I have no interest whatsoever in the position of National Chairman of the PDP or any other national office in the party. While remaining a committed party man, I cannot and will not risk a dent on my integrity, having earlier made my stance clear. Members of the public are advised to disregard the report,” Dokpesi said.
